Madden 16: Connected Franchise Thoughts and Concerns

[RaychelSnr]

With summer heating up and the basketball and hockey seasons winding to a close, that can mean only one thing: Madden is right around the corner (it used to mean NCAA Football was close as well *sniffles*). A bunch of franchise information has trickled out recently, which gives fans of the series some news to feast on as the release date draws closer.

Scouting was spot on during the ps2/Xbox/GC days. It was sooo much better then anything that's came out the last 10 years. I'm not a fan of confidence nore the silly goal system. Why can't they look back at the golden age of madden and take ideas from that. Oh well at least franchise mode is slowly improving.

So it looks like you can start from Regular Season and Preseason? It would sure be nice if you could start in the Offseason before draft/free agency like you can in NHL(PS3).

i hope we can at least see player ratings/stats during free agency

I like the news of having a combine, and actually wish that it became the sole means to scout players...Outside of experiencing the gameplay adjustments/improvements, this is actually my most anticipated feature...I love the coaching aspect of football and anything added to Madden that will bring that area of the game to the forefront is good for me.

I also believe the Dynamic Goals could work out to be a very fun addition to the game and, obviously, implemented logically, will not be unrealistic..

So you actually believe that in Real life, progression is tied to making plays, like getting a 200 yards rushing and 3 td, can actually make you run faster going forward

Besides how clean the ui is and how much better everything flows, the scouting and draft is my favorite element of CFM this year. Look forward to talking more about scouting and the draft once Shop's part 2 of CFM impressions drops.

I understand where your coming from, but unless you take a little polygonal figure to the digital weight room there has to be some sort of progression system in place. Combining XP (simulating practice, training and film room) and in game accomplishments seems like a fair representation to progress your players no?
